The Atlantic: “you have a constitutional right to own a gun, and you may traffic in firearms with legal impunity; but you risk being imprisoned for buying and selling arguably obscene pornography. And don’t even think about child porn (I mean that literally): possessing obscene cartoon images of imaginary children is a federal offense; so is communicating your sexual fantasies about children to other adults.”

Speaking of child porn, it turns out the fancy new x-ray scanners the Brits are planning on mandating in airports violate the UK’s child protection laws because they create vaguely-sort-of-nude-looking-if-you-squint-just-right images of passengers who pass through them. Our culture is officially absurd.

Big Bang Theory does have a lot of stereotypes of nerds, but strangely enough, I still find it funny. And there are a lot of amusing cameos by nerd faves like BSG actors and Wil Wheaton. If you do try it, go for one of the third season eps. It’s definitely improving as it goes along.
